Ok I decided now that I would try another journal client called Marsedit on the mac.
I tried Macjournal but found it was way complicated and had too many features that I would never use.
So far i’m very happy with it and will purchase it once my trial expires.
This afternoon we’re going to a friend’s home for drinks. Am looking forward to this and will report later this evening on how it all went.

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year from Sydney Australia.
So far my new year has been absolutely fantastic and it’s getting better.
We went over to my Uncle’s home last night for a bbq and it was one of the most brilliant bbq’s we’ve had in ages. The sausages and patty’s were excellent and the potatoe salad was out of this world.
Thanks Uncle John and Moira for the fantastic night.
Tomorrow we’re going to another friend’s home for pig on a spit party and i’m extreemly excited about this. It’s going to be an awesome time and i’ll report more on this when I return.
In other news, i’ve been playing with some new dj software on the mac called djay.
It’s voice over friendly and costs 81 dollars australian to buy. I’ll be trying it out by connecting to a shoutcast server later today and we’ll see how things go.
Well i’m going back to bed to listen to some more mac podcasts.
Will write more later on today or this evening.

Will post more tomorrow.

Christmas day was an absolutely smashing success.
I got some wonderful presents and best of all, the friends and family we had over were great.
we had the following to eat.
Chicken, vegies, potatoe salad, greek salad, green salad, veal, polish pastries and the deserts were out of this world.
Cheese cake, cupcakes, my Mum’s bloody nice trifle and biscuits.
Absolutely grand man and I also recieved some iTunes vouchers, some beer, a bucket of tasty food items too numerous to mention here and diet ginger beer.
I’d personally like to thank Mum Grandma Kathryn clint Jackie Jason June and Uncle Stan for their presents or should that be presence felt here today.
Really nice atmosphere and I’m all eaten out now.
I’m off to bed and will enjoy some podcasts and tomorrow will set up my airport express and stream my music wirelessly to my new Stereo written about previously on the blog.
See you all tomorrow.
Ok just awaiting guests to start arriving shortly.
The food is being prepared and i’ve done what I can to assist today.
I’ve tasted the grapes from the fruit platter and had a chocolate almond and i’m ready as I ever will be.
I’ll post more this evening after the event is over and probably tomorrow i’ll just relax and enjoy left overs.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and everything is good.

Ok firstly I just wanted to wish everyone around the world who reads my journal a very merry Christmas.
Tonight we just had our Christmas Eve dinner at my Grandma’s and it was one of the tastiest dinners i’ve had in ages.
We had beatroot soup for starters then we had fish mash potatoes cucumber and jelly and ice cream for desert.
It was very enjoyable the guests all had a great time and I really am looking forward to our Christmas lunch tomorrow afternoon.
I’m now going to go to bed and dream of iTunes vouchers and hard cold beer with my good buddy Clint and stan tomorrow.
Am looking forward to meeting Jackie and Jason who will also be attending the celebrations tomorrow.
I’ll be posting what and how tomorrow goes after or possibly before the event.
My new micro system is working way better then I had hoped.
Firstly you can pop in a standard usb key full of mp3 files and it just plays them one after the other.
The cd player works very well and it’s a joy to use.
I’ll be learning more about it over the next few days.
In other news, really looking forward to christmas and spending time with my family and friends.
Will post more tomorrow.
Just off to try and find a replacement skype phone and to listen to some mac podcasts on the victor reader stream.
Ok all i’ve just purchased a new Panasonic scpm46 micro hifi stereo.
It has a usb input for mp3 devices. a music port otherwise known as aux in for connecting to stereo equipment, a cd player that plays mp3 cdr cdrw wma and not sure what else.
Also has an am fm tuna and my awesome Uncle is going to help me set it up tomorrow.
The sound is fantastic and it’s one of the smallest stereo’s i’ve ever purchased.
I also bought an airport express for my mac which allows you to stream your iTunes music wirelessly to your stereo.
Here’s a link to the new Panasonic stereo I just purchased.

Ok today I went to the good guys which are a very large store similar to best buy and staples. They sell everything from computers to stereos tv’s videos and more.
I found an awesome Panasonic stereo with iPod dock and usb input cd player that plays mp3 wma and cdr cdrw discs. Easy to use not menu driven and good sound for the price.
Haven’t decided yet on the model I am after but as soon as I find one I like or purchase one, i’ll be sure to let everyone know and post a link to the stereo.
